Mulder shut down with “mild strain”
By Derrick Goold
DENVER — After a meeting with the Cardinals team doctor Wednesday morning, lefthanded starter
Mark Mulder will be shut down for at least a week to calm what’s being called a “mild rotator cuff strain”, the team announced in a press release this afternoon.
Mulder experienced what was described as “shoulder fatigue” during his start Monday in Memphis. He was scheduled for one start on his rehab assignment, and then the Cardinals were going to have to decide what do with the lefthander when the 30 days of his rehab assignment expired May 14. Wednesday’s diagnosis delays that decision.
“The bottomline is this is not a setback whatsoever,” Mulder’s agent
Gregg Clifton said this afternoon. “It’s a hiatus for a week, and then after he’s re-evaluated he’ll be back out there. … Everyone feels a brief rest period will allow him to come back (feeling stronger).”
